Dairying accepts machine milking with strict cleaning rules
An official dairy notice argues that machine milking can be as clean as hand milking if equipment is kept scrupulously clean. It outlines a step by step wash and rinse procedure for cups, claws, and rubbers, warns that rubber wear from grease and milk fat invites bacteria, and emphasizes post milking air drying and inspection. It also notes that raw cotton exports exceed motor cars in the United States.
